Reservoir Structure
Page 1/1
Use the subsurface information in Fig. 8.52 to make a structure contour map of the top of the Hamner
Sandstone reservoir. What type of fault or faults are present? Are there any faults in the reservoir? What is the
dip of the fault or faults? What is the calculated heave and throw at each fault cut? Do the fault map and
fault separation data agree with the map?
Fig. 8.52. Well data on the Hamner Sandstone reservoir. Wells (numbered) penetrate the Hamner Sandstone (single number is
the elevation of the top contact). Fault cuts are indicated by a pair of numbers (amount/elevation). Elevations are in meters,
negative below sea level
